User Reviews

User reviews largely condemn the app for intrusive advertising and autoplay videos that launch on opening stories, making reading frustrating. The latest update is seen as less user-friendly, with navigation and readability issues. Additional complaints include broken sharing, unreliable search, content not loading, and persistent notification badges tied to ads. Overall sentiment is negative, with many users feeling the app prioritizes revenue over reliable local news delivery.

Pros

Cons

Autoplaying ads/videos start automatically when opening stories, disrupting reading
Excessive, intrusive ads (pop-ups, loud ads, ads before content) that hinder use
New update degrades usability and navigation (hard to navigate, smaller font)
Ad-related features interfere with core functions (sharing links broken, search not working, content not always relevant to the story)
Reliability and notification issues (app wont load at times; persistent notification badge)

Recent reviews

I don’t like the new layout at all, way too many ads makes it pain to use.

Tired of these automatic ads and reels playing when I open a news story to read. I just want to read the story, not get slowed down by this other stuff. Really persuades me to stop using the app.
